Trump has opened a Pandora’s box.

I take it there are more games today / soon that may feature other players from teams also taking a similar stance? (no pun intended)

Yeah, that London game started a few hours ahead of the normal first wave of games here.

The Steelers all stayed in the locker room, which is an even more powerful statement because (I think) they can be fined by the league for this.

Thanks for that (my knowledge of US sports is somewhat lacking).

I’ve since found a useful site with continuing updates (so far) from The AP:-

and this from the BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/american-football/41380275

If so, is there anything else going on with Trump - or around him - that he is trying to deflect attention from at this time?

Hi Marcopolo and welcome to the site.

Take a look around the differing sections of the site and you’ll soon find what you may well be seeking, and hopefully more related Star Wars stuff of interest too - all for free (with certain conditions)…

That was my idea for a whole host low budget rip-offs tasteful homages for a lot of popular shows 😉

I promise to treat my subjects well (at first)… 😉

Nice one - glad you got it working - and also for updating your post so others in a similar situation will know what to do too 😃

I have neither the label sheets, nor the applicator, yet…

No, no, no! Don’t put labels on optical discs! They will deteriorate much faster than the disc itself and when they do, they can cause possibly irreparable damage to your blu-ray player!

Take a look at this article. There are also posts about this floating around this forum.

People posting disc art around are here intending it to be printed directly onto inkjet printable discs using something like this:

I can’t afford something like that. Besides, I’ve been spending months trying to create proper labels on Avery.com. Are you ****ing kidding me?! Only now I start to hear problems? I’ve been using all that I have (paper, cardboard, etc.) to create this set. I don’t have card stock or photo paper. I had to do it myself with what I only have in my possession, and all this hard work has stopped for something like this…Without these labels, my set can’t be completed.

Unless someone does it for me, I have no other options.

Would a friend, or local library or local printers/stationery store be able to help you out?
 

This thread may be of interest for a little more info on printers with ‘print-to-disc’ facilities:-

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/What-printers-does-everyone-use-for-printing-discs-and-artwork/id/55031

Surprisingly, many printers with the print-to-disc facility aren’t much more expensive than the printers without - though obviously it is an otherwise unnecessary purchase (and ink can so expensive these days too).

Good luck with it - I really hope you complete your quality set.
 

By the way - superb covers and discart - very cool 😃

Sad I am, at this news… the CGI version you prefer?

Yoda isn’t at Jabba’s palace so I didn’t think I needed to specify. BUT…
Yoda looks great in ESB, but very wonky in Jedi. so… yeah. He needs lots of fixing up himself.
JEDIT- does anybody else think the stupid muppets in Jabba’s palace look as good as Yoda? Or is Jason the only crazy? 😉

😃

I’d like to see Dr Teeth, Lips, Ralph, Zoot, Janice, Floyd & Animal replace the Max Rebo band (maybe Max could stay - do have a soft spot for him).

The more Muppets in Star Wars the better - a mistake which largely contributed to the failure of the Prequel Trilogy.

‘stupid muppets’? I think we now know I’m not the only crazy here 😄

If they were holding guitars, that could be the next Devo album cover.

Ha! Very much so 😃

Funny that - it reminds me of Red Dawrf’s own foray into ‘music’…

Roll on the 12th October for season 12 😃

There are a few threads currently on page 2 of the ‘Star Wars Preservations and Other Fan Projects’ section that may be help / interest to you mate - especially the poster known as Dr Dre.

If you’re talking about the muppets in The Muppets, I agree. If you’re talkin’ about the muppets in ROTJ… nah, man.

Sad I am, at this news… the CGI version you prefer?

Peyton Reed, director of Ant Man, tweeted this yesterday.

"Dear Lucasfilm,

Please release a Blu-ray of the original, unmessed-with version of STAR WARS I loved when I was 13.

Thanks,

Peyton"

Nice one that.

2600 likes, and 670 re-tweets in 18 hours - impressive stuff 😃

^ reminds me of the Dark Forces game (possibly Shadows Of The Empire?) of yesteryear - pixelated stormtroopers that could hit things (us!) 😃

Intriguing pic…

I built a very basic mini-arcade full of roms on an old pc not so long back - something for the nieces and nephews to play with when they visit (is what I told the missus)…

Out of a few thousand games on the system they really took a shine to the Super Star Wars games for the SNES (the SNES seemed to be the most popular system they play so far; 1942, Mario Kart, Metroid & DKC being the main pick) - both myself and her dad are so proud - after many many hours making idiots of ourselves playing them in our teens, these will go through the same 😃

 
Unfortunately any experience or gaming skill from our past playing days on it has long left us - very embarrassing having a 13 year old outperform us on the console of our youth 😃

Fair play to whoever puts these 8/16 bit homage videos together:-

It’s not a problem if you don’t look up

Time for a fourth reboot:

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/sep/20/sarah-connor-returns-linda-hamilton-to-star-in-terminator-6-arnold-schwarzenegger

Again they need to annonce a new trilogy, isn’t this like the third new trilogy that they’re trying to make? How about making one good movie first… Well, I’m hopeful for the new film but the whole franchise has become a mess.

I hope Cameron addresses this (the franchise becoming a mess) and that this 6th film is somewhere close to the quality of the first two - it seems he has said that this film will carry on from T2 - but will also acknowledge some of the events from T3/4/5…

Having Linda Hamilton back & Cameron being more involved is a promising start…

Will have to give ‘The Night Of’ another watch - seems a while ago when I first saw it.

Plus congratulations to Riz Ahmed on his Emmy win (with video) for it:-

Harmy,

I finally got around to a bit of free time and have been catching up on the OT and related projects and DAMN. I’m so happy to have Star Wars back in my life after the tragic episodes and now that I started to prowl around my old web haunts I’m so glad to see that you’ve done some fantastic work here Harmy! I love the little SE bits and the recolouring.

The Force is strong with this one.

The Force is pretty strong with yourself old friend 😃

Word to those Spookies!

^ very cool. I love the rawness of the picture quality - very 80’s tv 😃

an oldie, pun-tastic - but still decent…

I hope you are able to get your pc up & running - or get another soon.

You have certainly contributed here - and look forward to seeing more of your work.

An intriguing project there 😃

Here they are! Old & new combined. The classic front cover of the first set; the more traditional back cover of the new set. I used black backgrounds instead, and made a few alterations and color corrections. Less flashy, and a little more iconic. These covers are my personal go-to choice for my set. If you want to take them, use them well.

These covers can be used for any version of the “Theatrical Cuts,” including the Despecialized Editions (which I personally have), the Silver Screen Edition & the Grindhouse versions of TESB/ROTJ, Puggo Grande, GOUT, etc.

Stunning - and always good to see quality covers that can be used for any set too 😃

As for a change in the Anthem, Jerusalem was mentioned, the only problem I see with that is that it is named after a city that is not in the UK. Jerusalem is in Israel. That is like America using an Anthem named “Paris”. It seems odd to me.

‘Jerusalem’ the poem (set to music) isn’t literally about the actual city of Jerusalem, it’s about England.

In fact it’s specifically about Jerusalem not being in England 😄 It’s a warning about not being complacent and too nationalistic and it’s sung frequently by people who are complacently nationalistic.

It’s bit like David Cameron professing to his love of The Jam’s Eton Rifles - with Weller remarking that Cameron obviously didn’t understand the song… (‘which bit didn’t he get?’) 😃

Aye, I agree with this take on Blake’s Jerusalem…

http://socialistreview.org.uk/372/blakes-jerusalem

though would equally be open for anything by Transvision Vamp or Half Man Half Biscuit too for a new national anthem 😉
